Advice on 383 stroker build!!

Hey guys I'm planning a 383 stroker build. Well to start I have a fresh factory 4 bolt main block and I'm planning on doing fully forged and spray it a bit. I need help deciding what parts are going to be the best for my build. So of course a nice forged crank scat or Callie's depending on how everything works out. And should I run forged h beam rods and whst size. And what brand and forged piston should I run. I'm looking to get the best compression u can on pump gas and be safe for spray. And defiantly looking for a big cam some where in the 600 lift or more. What size rr should I run also 1.6 or 1.7. Also should I run sa or NSA and what brand of guide plates and rockets should I use. The heads will be ported bigger valves all the good stuff and patriot gold springs and Manley valves. And what's the best head gaskets to run. Thanks for the help

Little of a loaded question. But I will take a cracked at it:)

Scat and callies are both good cranks
Good H beam or billet I beam from Howards is a good choice
5.7 rod to keep pin out of the rings
Look into JE, Probe, Dimond, Wiesco they all make good pistons
1.6 NSA RR since you obviously plan to run a aggressive cam
You can get mid 11 compression on pump gas
I personally like cosmetic gaskets

What kind of times are you getting with your 383 my overall goal is to be in the 10s

And I guess if I'm gonna do a big cam in the first place there's no reason for a 1.7 rr to bump the lift. And what kind of piston should I run to get that compression

I can't really give you times to compare to. Since my car was a scca road course/auto car and I have a M6. But I put down 437/409 with my setup. And I had a wet plate kit on my car spraying a 125 shot for a while. And it moved like a raging Ape;)

You want to run a 2618 low silicone piston.
I am running Probe SRS Moleculite
flat tops in my engine. Getting 11.5:1

Scat, Eagle or Callies are good.
I like I-beam rods because of the potential interference issues with big H-beams and the cam.
I'd go with 6.00" rods, having the pin in the rings doesn't bother me at all. That's how my turbo motor is built and it works great.
The stroker in my RX7 has 12.0:1 compression on 91 octane pump fuel, no problems here but the tune has to be good.

I'd get who ever is porting the heads spec a cam for your application.
NSA rockers are better with a big cam & high RPM.

I also like Cometic gaskets, that's what I run on the turbo motor and on the stroker. 0 deck with the 0.040" gaskets is perfect.
2618 pistons are also a good idea.

So what's gonna hold up the best I beams or
h beams. I'm gonna do a wet
kit of 150 to 200. And what does the difference in the rod length make. Should I run a flat top
piston or some sort of -cc piston. I'm going to have 2.0 intake valves and 1.56
exhaust. And what brand of rr do you guys use if I was to go nsa

I-beams are generally lighter than H-beams for the same power rating, but both should be OK in your application if you buy a good quality rod.
I have 6.00" Lunati I-beams in the turbo motor and 5.85" Scat H-beams in the stroker (bought it like that).

That depends on your target CR and chamber volume.

I have Comp Pro-Magnums and like them.

Yeah the comp pro mags is what I was looking at. At I'm shooting for 12.1 rattio. I think that's should be a safe
cr to run with the nos. what piston would I need to run to get 12.1

Chamber volume?
